When female friends are pregnant, they generally hope to have a natural delivery, but whether they can have a natural delivery depends on the specific situation, such as the size of the fetus, whether the labor force is sufficient, and the position of the fetus. If the pregnant woman's fetal position is not correct, it is difficult to give birth naturally, and a cesarean section is needed at this time. So, how do expectant mothers determine whether the fetal position is correct or not?
The most accurate way to determine the fetal position is to go to the hospital for an ultrasound examination, which can reveal the specific condition of the fetus. Generally, in the late stages of pregnancy, a B-ultrasound examination is required to check the fetal position. If the fetal position is correct, pregnant women can choose to have a vaginal delivery.
If pregnant women want to judge the fetal position on their own, they can use fetal hiccups to determine it. When the fetus hiccups, the abdominal wall of the pregnant woman will jump. If the jumping position is relatively high, there is usually an abnormal fetal position, which is mostly in the breech or transverse position. If there is a jumping sensation in the lower part of the abdominal wall, the fetal position is mostly positive.
The position of the fetus can be determined by touching it with your hand. Generally, the position of the fetus is completely fixed at 8 months of pregnancy, and pregnant women can determine the position of the fetus by touching their belly. If the belly is very pointed, it means that the fetus is facing the pregnant woman, and this is the posture where the baby arches their buttocks. If the belly is very round, the fetus is mostly facing away from the mother.
